What is Fresh
Question:
Maybe you could say a little more about what you mean by "fresh"? I'm trying to be open and non-judgmental when taking photos, but at the same time looking for something (color, texture) and "freshness". Not sure if I can do both at the same time. Thanks!
Answer:
Fresh is another way of saying concontrived or unfabricated. It means a perception that isn't distorted by the thinking mind.

The Book
“This is not your usual ‘how to be a better photographer’ book. It takes you into deeper water. It requires investigation and commitment to areas new to you. Among other things, you will think about perception in new ways. If you read this book with care, and without skepticism, it will radically expand your thinking, seeing, and photography.”
—Jay Maisel, photographer
and author of Light on America

Those seem to be more conceptual expressions that don't get at the non-conceptual quality that "fresh" points to.
Thanks.
How do words like "new", "interesting", "shocking" compare to "fresh"?
Maybe a perception that has not (at least not yet) been jammed into a conceptual category?
